Description
MG A 1600 ROADSTER 1960
First registered in the United States in 1961, this iconic roadster was imported to Italy, where it underwent a thorough restoration in the early 1990s.
The vehicle was then registered in Bergamo with the current license plate in 1994.
In 1999, it passed to the second owner from Cremona, who, after only a few months, entrusted it to our company. The car was then sold to a pharmacist in Brescia.
After 11 years, the pharmacist resold it to our company, which in 2011 sold it to the current owner, another enthusiast from Bergamo.
Now, after 14 years, the owner has decided to put the car back on the market.
When the car was delivered in 2011, the odometer read 28,000 miles; today, it shows 34,645 miles.
Over the years, the car has been regularly subjected to all mandatory biennial technical inspections, ensuring that it has remained in perfect working condition.
Furthermore, the owner has always kept the vehicle in excellent shape by performing the following maintenance work, as declared:

The car is equipped with chrome "Bolt-On" spoke wheels, a feature that provides the vehicle with a stylish and sporty appearance while maintaining both functionality and reliability.
Additionally, it comes with the original steel wheels.
To improve engine cooling, an electric fan has been installed, optimizing thermal management, especially during intensive use or on hot days. Completing the setup, the car is fitted with a chrome luggage rack, which not only enhances the vehicle's visual appeal but also provides extra functionality for transporting items.
The car is currently insured and in circulation, with the inspection valid until April 2026.
In 2025 it obtained the updated ASI CERTIFICATE OF HISTORICAL RELEVANCE
